Hiking Club - Season 2

Ian and I reconvened our hiking club, and this year Miles is joining us.  We started with an easy hike inside of Red Butte Garden, it was just over 2 miles with an easy 387 foot ascent.  Here's the route we took:





The hills are covered with arrowleaf balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata). It was the perfect time to visit, since they are all in bloom.



We saw a lot of this little beauty, wild phlox (Phlox longifolia). 



Here is Ian at the deer gate.
